[TMC] SBE Mic connector?

[Richard Knoppow]

    Just to make this clear because I don't like the way it reads.
    Some microphones come with attached cords, some have a 
connector on the body for an interconnecting cord. That's better. 
In either case you will have to wire the cord to the transmitter. 
If there is attached cord on the mic, or if it has a connector 
but no cord, you will have to find whatever connector is suitable 
for the mic end and attach a suitable connector at both ends. 
Some connectors which were extremely common in the  1950s are 
hard to find now but all are available with a little searching. 
If worst comes to worst you can replace the transmitter connector 
with another kind such as a TRS telephone jack or an XLR 
connector. However, I think you can probably get the correct ones.
    Do you have the entire transmitter that this exciter goes 
with? I have lusted after a TMC transmitter since I was in my 
teens. I will look for one when I get rich.
